For the money that you would spend on tuning it, You could drop a larger engine in from sportier model.

Tbh his money would be better spent on keeping it maintained, the gains wont be anything great on a 1.2 imo, and just keeping the car serviced ad looking after it is the best thing to do IMO, and no sure if it works well with Clio's but de-restricting the aribox is a cheap and easy mod, not sure if it can be done on Clio's though.
Otherwise either buy another Clio with a bigger engine or transplant a bigger one into his.
But like you say a backbox and lowering spings isnt a huge amount of money to buy and easy to fit normally so i would go for that.
